My Students

My students are sixth to eighth graders with exceptional needs in an urban, public, neighborhood school in the third largest district in the country. My school had been on academic warning status with the state for 12 years due to low test scores. I am proud to say, these past two years we have done it! My school is officially a level 1 school. The school averages in the 53rd percentile in reading and in the 44th percentile in math compared to the national average. My school enrolls 348 students in an old building that can hold 750.

My school community is 100% African American and 96% low-income.

Students live within the school boundaries. My students have learning disabilities with audio and visual learning styles. Despite their disabilities, my students are strong and persevere.

My Project

My diverse learners have returned to in-person learning. They have been learning from home for the past 18 months sitting at their kitchen table, in bed, and/or any other place in the home. My students have told me they have spent many hours just watching television or sitting playing video games.

All of my students have specific learning disabilities which affect their ability to stay focused and concentrate on their learning.

They need sensory stimulation to support their ability to stay focused and show growth academically. I want my students to make a smooth transition back to in-person learning. Please help me help them address their sensory needs using wobble chairs while learning and reading independently in our classroom.
